JBJ True Temp Digital Controller w/ Heater
Information

JBJ introduces the TRUE TEMP digital heater controller and titanium heating system. The TRUE TEMP is the most complete heating system to date with the most advanced features that set it apart as the leading heater for professional hobbyists.

Maintaining the correct temperature for tropical fish may be the single most important factor for a successful aquarium. Since fish do not have the ability to regulate their own body temperature, it is crucial that we can provide consistent water temperatures with minimal fluctuations.

Majority of fish cannot cope with stress from constant temperature fluctuations, which leads to a compromised immune system. This increases the probability of avoidable diseases, parasites, and bacterial infections.

ADVANCED FEATURES:

100% DIGITAL OPERATIONDon’t be fooled, some controllers still incorporate analog dials and knobs without the precision accuracy of TRUE digital controllers. Our advanced microprocessor constantly reads and displays the correct temperature to a tenth of a degree with a large LED display. Easy push buttons make setting your desired temperature simple and easy.

TITANIUMThe perfect submersible element for fresh or saltwater aquaria. Virtually indestructible with the benefits of fast heat transfer without any corrosion. Integrated thermal shut off and out of water safety mechanism.

Model Wattage Length x Diameter Power Cord Tank Size

TT-150150 WATT9.5” X 1.5”6 FEET30 - 50 G

TT-300300 WATT13.1” X 1.5”6 FEET60 - 100 G

TT-500500 WATT13.1” X 1.5”6 FEET100 - 160 G

TT-800800 WATT16.7” X 1.5”6 FEET160 - 260 G

TT-10001000 WATT16.7” X 1.5”6 FEET200 - 300 G

REMOTE TEMPERATURE PROBEMost heaters have an integrated temperature probe within the same heating element. This can lead to false readings and premature ON/OFF cycles. The TRUE TEMP digital controller is equipped with a remote quick disconnect temperature probe that can be placed up to 5 feet away from the heating element for a comprehensive temperature measurement of the total volume of water. Quick disconnect temperature probe grants easy replacement without the need to replace the entire controller in the event it fails.

CROSS REFERENCEHave you ever noticed that majority of heaters cannot be calibrated. Often times, errors do occur during the calibration process. The ability to cross reference ensures your temperature is accurate and always correct.

SMART MEMORY CHIPAn integrated smart memory chip will restore the previous temperature set point and calibration to the last stored setting once the power returns after a failure. This alleviates having to manually reset settings forever.

JBJ is a top-of-mind brand name in freshwater and saltwater aquarium supplies. The company is committed to innovation and manufacturing only the absolute highest quality equipment. JBJ’s philosophy is "to create products that provide extra value" to hobbyists. JBJ produces hundreds of aquarium products including lights, filters, heaters, UV sterilizers, wavemakers and top-off systems. The company is best known for their affordable line of Arctica chillers and the best-selling Nano Cube aquarium series. We carry the gamut of JBJ products and accessories and are happy to provide you free technical support while you’re setting up your new equipment.

Comments:Installed easily in my 30 gallon tank-heater at mid depth on left side and probe directly opposite at same level. I set at 78 and it fluctuates perhaps 1 to 1 1/2 degrees on digital readout, occasionally to 2 degrees. An independent thermometer check leads me to believe that I'd be chasing a ghost to correct it. In use just 10 days now and corals flourish and invertebrates and single urchin, anemone, and Maroon Clown all fine.If all stays same I'm very satisfied

Comments:This was not what I paid for. 500W heater element failed at 15 months JBJ personal not helpful. They recommended "buy a new one". Last week (18 months old) temp probe failed. I spent the big bucks for what I thought was going to be high quality. It most certainly is not! 150 gal marine tank now being heated by 8 year old Won heater. Geez, what are you supposed to do to protect your livestock investment?

A happy camper.

Comments:What a beautiful package. The heater works great just as advertised what makes it special for me is the magnet holders a breeze to set up. The controller makes the whole thing work set it and forget it.

Comments:I run a maintenance business and one of my clients had only had this heater for less than a year. Like others it totally failed and their reef crashed due to cold temperatures (hence why they called me to begin maintaining their aquarium). After getting the unit back to my shop the heater coil was completely broken and inoperable. So I decided to test the control unit. It would cut on and off at the specified temperature that I set on it, however after using a digital medical thermometer as well as a standard glass aquarium thermometer (both it and the medical digital were within .5°F of each other) the JBJ probe was reading 5 full degrees OFF to the high side. After reading through other reviews and my double, triple and quadruple checking of the control unit I would advise people to stay away from these units where stability matters.

Comments:UNIT WORKS GREAT BUT HAS A SHORT LIFESPAN, BETWEEN 12 -18 MONTHES. I AM ON MY FORTH ONE IN A LITTLE OVER 5 YEARS. SOMETIMES THE UNIT FAILS AND SOMETIMES THE TEMP SENSOR FAILS. SENSORS CAN BE REPLACED BY CONTACTING JBJ FOR A PRICE. EVEN THOUGH THIS UNIT FAILS, I HAVE NOT FOUND A BETTER ONE.

Comments:I just upgraded my tank with new LEDs so out with the chiller. Which this meant I would need a heater. It was very easy to setup and after plugging it in I felt there was no way that temp could be right. I then went and bought an old school thermometer after leaving it in my tank for a few minutes I pulled it out and the temp was correct. I didn't have to calibrate it or anything. Well wrth the money.

Comments:I purchased the t3-800. I would not recommend it. Works great but! The controller connection is horrible. It constantly reads error at the slightest touch the connections aren't great.
I took the heater rod and hooked it up to my controller instead. Worked great until yesterday. out of the blue it just crapped out. doesn't heat up at all. I bought the 800W even though my tank only needs about 500W so the heater doesn't have to work as hard. dead after 2 years. Better off sticking with a different less expensive titanium heater. and get two smaller ones instead of one big one.

Comments:I have had this heater for 3 months. I have to say that this heater works really well. I have the temp set to 77 and my tank stays in between 76 and 78. I have a second temp probe in the tank also and both probe read the temperature within .2 deg. The only thing that is upsetting is the JBJ didn't come with the magnets to attach just suction cups, but its not a deal breaker. I push in the suction cups every week when doing a water change no problems.
